my husband did not really help at all. i did not really expect him to because he never did BEFORE the baby.
i was lucky enough to have a "village" by my side....people i could count on for the first few months. good friends and family members did ask me for what i would like to eat. some made meals, some purchased meals.
my mom came and stayed with me for the first week and she was a GREAT help with everything.

I pretty much did it all myself. With each new baby one person brought us a meal. My DH had to go to work and mother or mil did not stay with us. I survived! Now days you can order meals from restaurants and have them delivered. I would do that before asking friends in a demanding way. Also, grocery stores deliver food promptly and you can even order perishables (veggies, deli items, etc.) from some sources.

Sounds to me that this guy is more concerned about himself rather than anyone else, including the most important person, the baby.

It's a whole different world from when I had my kids 30 years ago and my world was totally different from when some of you had your kids 50 years ago. I suspect that he was joking but there is a kernel of truth in the joke. Today are meal delivery services and housekeepers available through aps on his phone. Most people are isolated; friends help out friends those first few weeks of life with the new baby.

Ridiculous. It looks like the lady will soon have 2 babies, including him.

@CrazyKittyLvr2 He sure didn't need any help making that baby. It would surprise me if this guy even has any close family and friends!

That's kind of nervey...

Meal trains are quite common, and very helpful to a family in need. Perhaps he did not go into great detail concerning medical issues surrounding the child's birth because those close to him and his wife would know the circumstances. From a different perspective, I do not see it as a selfish request, rather trying to take some of the stress off the family. Perhaps not the most tactful way of doing so, yet he may have had good intentions.
